What does a DDE engineer do?

As a designated duty engineer (DDE engineer), your job is to manage the operations of an engine room on a marine vessel. This designation is a special license from the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for marine workers that confirms you can perform necessary equipment maintenance and even act as the sole engineer on smaller vessels. DDE engineers can serve as the chief engineer on vessels no larger than 500grt, with additional 1000hp and 4000hp credentials allowing you to work near coastal and inland waters. Most DDE engineers use this job as a stepping stone to qualify for an assistant or chief engineer license.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a DDE engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a DDE Engineer, you need a strong background in electrical or mechanical engineering principles, along with a relevant engineering degree. Proficiency in CAD software, simulation tools, and familiarity with design and development processes are typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication skills help you excel in this role. These skills ensure precise design execution, efficient project delivery, and successful collaboration within multidisciplinary engineering teams.

How does a DDE engineer typically collaborate with cross-functional teams during the product development lifecycle?

As a DDE (Design, Development, and Engineering) Engineer, you will regularly work alongside product managers, designers, and quality assurance teams to ensure that technical solutions align with project requirements and timelines. Collaboration often involves participating in design reviews, troubleshooting integration issues, and communicating technical constraints or opportunities. This role requires strong interpersonal skills and the ability to translate complex engineering concepts for non-technical team members, which helps drive successful project outcomes. Expect to attend regular meetings, provide feedback on prototypes, and contribute to both planning and execution phases across multiple departments.

Job description

Assistant Engineers work with the Chief Engineer to maintain all onboard machinery, ensuring safe and effective operation of all equipment and systems.

Essential Duties:

· Assist in maintenance of all machinery and onboard systems.

· Assist in all refueling and fuel transfer operations. 

· Complete necessary repairs in a timely manner.

· Log and record all repairs and maintenance.

· Track orders for parts and supplies.

Working in the Bering Sea:

Working at sea is physically and mentally challenging and requires long hours in remote locations, often several days’ travel from the nearest port. Our deck and processing crews work 16-hour shifts, 7 days a week. Most trips average 4-5 weeks in duration, but depending on the fishing season, catch rates, weather, vessel size and other factors, trips can be as short as 10-12 days or as long as 60+ days. Crew members generally work multiple trips (2 months or longer) in a single rotation.

Compensation, Travel & Expenses:

Assistant Engineers receive the higher of crew share percentage or a guaranteed daily rate. Daily rates are determined by the hiring manager (VP of Operations). Crew share calculations are based on the net adjusted sales. Net sales total is calculated by accounting for certain operating costs such as bait, fuel, observer expenses, etc. 40% of net sales go to the officers and crew. 

All travel for officers is arranged and paid for by the company, including flights, hotels, and meals while traveling. 

Requirements

 · Previous experience acting as backup for the Chief Engineer including maintenance of onboard machinery to ensure safe and effective operation of all equipment.

· DDE 4,000 license preferred but not required.

· Experience with refueling and fuel transfer operations.

· Ability to prevent equipment failure through proper maintenance.

· Ability to assist with necessary repairs in a timely manner.

· Attention to detail when logging and recording repairs and maintenance, ordering supplies, etc.

· Must pass pre-employment drug screening (commercial fishing falls under federal authority; we cannot hire anyone who tests positive for THC).

· Pre-employment background check required (past convictions will not necessarily prevent employment).

· Must be legally authorized to work in the United States. BWS participates in eVerify. 

Benefits

Vessel officers are eligible for healthcare benefits, subsidized by the company at 75% for both employees and dependents, including medical coverage, dental coverage, vision coverage, voluntary life insurance, and a Health Savings Account (HSA) with a discretionary company contribution. Vessel officers are eligible to enroll on the first day of the month after a one-month waiting period.
